Advice

Instead of butter, you can also use margarine. The cream will be usable for up to 3 days if stored in the refrigerator in a sealed container. Instead of lemon, you can also use orange or lime. It is best to use organic citrus fruits whose peel is not treated with pesticides. If they are not available, immerse the fruit in boiling water for a few minutes and wipe it thoroughly to remove the wax, which contains toxins.
